Yup. I want to pick up a couple of those, but the only issue is the lack of available parts for G20/G21s
Glockstore.com . 20/21 lower parts kits. Factory parts. $90. No excuses anymore. At least that’s what I told myself.Now that frames exist, that will come.
Single stack frames, and sig P320’s as well. Glockstore is awesome.See they’re releasing single stack frames soon?
Get it, and wait and wait for a slide.Yup. I want to pick up a couple of those, but the only issue is the lack of available parts for G20/G21s
I have exact same issue and it gets worse when I hang a light on it. It needs reinforced but not sure how to go about it. I would like to hear your results with the hair dryer or was a heat gun necessary. I wrapped the front frame to slide with nylon ties for 2 weeks to squeeze them together but after cutting them off within 3 days it is bent down again. Mine is OD green as well.Did you have any trouble with gaps between the slide and frame?
I have a P80 G17 build I'm just wrapping up, and there is a considerable gap between the slide and frame. I can't decide if I should try and sand down the rails a little to bring the slide in closer to the frame, or if this is a non-issue. Also the front rail seems to bend down away from the slide, making the gap even larger at the front of the gun. I'm going to try the old hair dryer trick and see if I can eliminate that curve to the front of the frame, but it's annoying.
Total build newb here. Can someone PM me some ideas of 'where to start' like will I need a drill press AND a lathe? I'm interested in building a few freedom-y things and need a push on expected costs etc..... thanks!
A lathe? What are you looking to build?
Well from the research I've seen, ar15 80% lowers require a lathe and a drill press? I could be totally wrong ... but was basically looking to start sourcing parts now and assemble this winter as I'll be stuck at home a lot with a newborn and will need projects
Lol. Probably. See why I need a point in the right direction?Definitely not a lathe for an AR lower.. Maybe you're thinking of a router?

I honestly thought YouTube would have pulled them down.YouTube will give you some options and ideas.
You need some nippers and a file and sandpaper for a P80. The setup they give you really isn't efficient. The "hardest" part is removing that U of plastic in the dustcover area. You don't need a drill press but it can't hurt and a table-top drill press might run 100-200.

I can agree with this on the pistol kits. A dremel with a cutoff wheel does the raised areas easily. Then I'd slot the stupid U-channel area. Once roughed, a sanding drum is all required. If you are going for "extra pretty" sandpaper wrapped around a dowel rod does that area nicely. I do have a friend who did it all with a nail clipper set. (he's a wild man, and didn't want to wake up the wife.)A dremel and some sandpaper does the whole thing just fine.
